In this study, ETM＋ remote sensing data are used for recognizing and extracting alteration zones in northwestern Yunnan （云南）, China. The principal component analysis （PCA） of ETM＋ bands 1, 4, 5, and 7 was employed for OH alteration extractions. The PCA of ETM＋ bands 1, 3, 4, and 5 was used for extracting Fe^2＋ （Fe^3＋） alterations. Interfering factors, such as vegetation, snow, and shadows, were masked. Alteration components were defined in the principal components （PCs） by the contributions of their diagnostic spectral bands. The zones of alteration identified from remote sensing were analyzed in detail along with geological surveys and field verification. The results show that the OH^- alteration is a main indicator of K-feldspar, phyllic, and prophilized alterations. These alterations are closely related to porphyry copper deposits. The Fe^2＋ （Fe^3＋） alteration indicates pyritization, which is mainly related to hydrothermal or skarn type polymetallic deposits.展开更多

Considering the World Wide Web as a huge data source of location relative information, we integrate the common used web data extraction techniques into the middleware framework, exposing a unified web data interface for the upper applications to make them more attractive. Besides, the framework also emphasizes some common LBS issues, including positioning, location modeling, location-dependent query processing, privacy and secure management.

文摘To extract structured data from a web page with customized requirements,a user labels some DOM elements on the page with attribute names.The common features of the labeled elements are utilized to guide the user through the labeling process to minimize user efforts,and are also utilized to retrieve attribute values.To turn the attribute values into a structured result,the attribute pattern needs to be induced.For this purpose,a space-optimized suffix tree called attribute tree is built to transform the document object model(DOM) tree into a simpler form while preserving its useful properties such as attribute sequence order.The pattern is induced bottom-up on the attribute tree,and is further used to build the structured result.Experiments are conducted and show high performance of our approach in terms of precision,recall and structural correctness.

文摘Image steganography is a technique of concealing confidential information within an image without dramatically changing its outside look.Whereas vehicular ad hoc networks(VANETs),which enable vehicles to communicate with one another and with roadside infrastructure to enhance safety and traffic flow provide a range of value-added services,as they are an essential component of modern smart transportation systems.VANETs steganography has been suggested by many authors for secure,reliable message transfer between terminal/hope to terminal/hope and also to secure it from attack for privacy protection.This paper aims to determine whether using steganography is possible to improve data security and secrecy in VANET applications and to analyze effective steganography techniques for incorporating data into images while minimizing visual quality loss.According to simulations in literature and real-world studies,Image steganography proved to be an effectivemethod for secure communication on VANETs,even in difficult network conditions.In this research,we also explore a variety of steganography approaches for vehicular ad-hoc network transportation systems like vector embedding,statistics,spatial domain(SD),transform domain(TD),distortion,masking,and filtering.This study possibly shall help researchers to improve vehicle networks’ability to communicate securely and lay the door for innovative steganography methods.

文摘This paper is concerned with the cooperative target stalking for a multi-unmanned surface vehicle(multi-USV)system.Based on the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient(MADDPG)algorithm,a multi-USV target stalking(MUTS)algorithm is proposed.Firstly,a V-type probabilistic data extraction method is proposed for the first time to overcome shortcomings of the MADDPG algorithm.The advantages of the proposed method are twofold:1)it can reduce the amount of data and shorten training time;2)it can filter out more important data in the experience buffer for training.Secondly,in order to avoid the collisions of USVs during the stalking process,an action constraint method called Safe DDPG is introduced.Finally,the MUTS algorithm and some existing algorithms are compared in cooperative target stalking scenarios.In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MUTS algorithm in stalking tasks,mission operating scenarios and reward functions are well designed in this paper.The proposed MUTS algorithm can help the multi-USV system avoid internal collisions during the mission execution.Moreover,compared with some existing algorithms,the newly proposed one can provide a higher convergence speed and a narrower convergence domain.
